New York City lawyers by case type

New York

The rules that shape your claim

Filing deadline

3 years

For most injury claims (N.Y. C.P.L.R. § 214).

Fault rule

Pure comparative fault

You can recover damages even if you were mostly at fault, but your award is reduced by your share of the blame. (N.Y. C.P.L.R. § 1411)

Car insurance

No-fault state

Your own personal injury protection (PIP) coverage pays your medical bills and some lost wages first, no matter who caused the crash. You can sue the at-fault driver only if your injuries meet the state's threshold.

Pending attorney review. General information, not legal advice. Deadlines can be shorter for claims against government agencies and for some case types.

FAQ

New York City personal injury questions

How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in New York?

In most cases, 3 years from the date of the injury (N.Y. C.P.L.R. § 214). Claims against a government agency often have much shorter notice deadlines.

What if I was partly at fault for my injury in New York?

You can recover damages even if you were mostly at fault, but your award is reduced by your share of the blame. (N.Y. C.P.L.R. § 1411)

Is New York a no-fault car insurance state?

New York is a no-fault state. Your own personal injury protection (PIP) coverage pays your medical bills and some lost wages first, no matter who caused the crash. You can sue the at-fault driver only if your injuries meet the state's threshold.

How much does a personal injury lawyer in New York City cost?

Most personal injury lawyers work on contingency: they take a percentage of what you recover and nothing if you lose. Percentages, and whether case costs come out before or after the fee, vary by firm, so compare fee agreements in writing.

How are the New York City lawyers on this page ranked?

By a 100-point score. Half comes from each firm's average position in Google Maps results for "personal injury attorney" and "car accident lawyer" searches in New York City; half comes from its Google rating, weighted so that a high rating from many reviews beats a perfect rating from a handful. Firms need at least 25 Google reviews, a 4.0+ rating, and a Google listing as a personal injury attorney. We are checking each ranked firm against the state bar. No firm can pay to change its rank.
